On the afternoon of May 21, Viet Thao Nhien Company Limited (Loc Son Industrial Park, Bao Loc City) officially exported the first batch of Cascara tea bags filtered from coffee fruit peels to the Japanese market.
This is the first shipment in a 5-year contract signed by the company with a Japanese partner to be included in the supermarket system in the land of the rising sun.
This batch of goods is packaged in a container with a total weight of 2 tons of Cascara tea with traditional flavors (all coffee shells) and cinnamon, ginger, mint flavors (pre- sticky rice) without any food additives.
According to Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh - Director of Viet Thao Nhien Company Limited, up to this point, the company is the first unit in Lam Dong province in particular and the whole country in general to export Cascara tea from coffee fruit peels to the Japanese market.

"We apply exclusive enzyme - probiotic technology to extract active ingredients from coffee peels. According to the contract with the partner, in the first year, 12 containers (24 tons of Cascara tea) will be supplied to the Japanese market, with output gradually increasing in the following years," said Mr. Tuan Anh.
In the coming time, the company will continue to export other coffee peel products to the Japanese market such as bottled Cascara juice, Cascara grinding powder and Cascara extract powder.
